The Century's Rise of Wages.

Discussing wages, in one of his lee
lures before the students of Harvard
University, Professor Thompson gives
many facts of curious interest. In
1893 the Schuylkill Il Susquehanna
Canal Company advertised for work
men, Offering So a month for the win
ter months and Sc for summer, with
board and lodging. The next year
there was debate in the house OF rep
resentatives which brought out the fact
that soldiers got but So month, a
Vermont member, discussing the pro
posal to raise ii to "a, said that in his
state men were hired for els year, or
"a a month, with board and clothing.
Mr. Wadsworth of Pennsylvania said:
" In the states north of Pennsylvania
the wages of the common laborer are
not, upon the whole, superior to those
of the common soldier" In 1897 a
Rhode Island farmer hired a good farm
hand at SO a month, and So a,month was
paid to those who got employment for
the eight busy months of the farmers
year. A strong boy could be had at
that time in Connecticut at 81 month
through those months, and he earned
il by working from daybreak until eight
or nine O'Clock at night. He could buy

Capture and Escape.

Colonel j. 7. +. Mclean of the
Union army was captured by the con-
federates and made his escape under
circumstances which form not the least
interesting chapter in the history of the
war. Colonel Mclean was native
Tennesseean, possibly from one of the
East Tennessee counties, and married
the daughter of DIR. skinner, a we'll
known dentist of Brooklyn, N. Y. He
was from first to last an ardent Union
man. After the capture of Nashville
Colonel Mclean went to Tennessee to
advocate the Union cause and aid in
every way possible to bring his native
state back to allegiance to the old flag.
He addressed the people of the state
wherever it was safe to do so, and
finally raised the Second Tennessee
Regiment, L. S. A., of which he was
appointed colonel, In September, 1862,
while Bragg and Buell. were in Ken
lucky and Forrest was besieging Negley
in his Notifications at Nashville,

An Old London Street.

We are to have a remarkable eXhi-
bition in New York in few weeks. 1t
will be reproduction of an old Lon
don street, the whole affair being in a
building one hundred seventy-fve feet
long by one hundred five feet wide,
which is now undergoing repairs, and is
situated on Broadway, at the head of
Waverly place. 1t was formerly known
as the Globe Theater, and previous to
that was church. From the altera-
tons already made in the exterior one
could hardly recognize either of those
places. A reproduction of Bishops
gate will be at the entrance. 1t is of
limestone, twelve feet thick and thirty
eight feet high, like the old one of
Queen Elizabeth's time. a statue of
William the Conqueror will be over the
gate. Inside there will be two streets
High street, twenty-four feet wide, and
Elbow lane, eleven feet wide, the eX-
act size of their originals. The streets
will be all of cobbe-stones, lit by
creased rags, lanterns and wisps of
straw, in which incandescent electric
lights will be concealed. Chickens and
animals will play in the streets, and
there will be no sidewalk, as in old
London. Along the street will be the
gorgeous four-story house of Sir Wal
ter Raleigh at Islington; Izaak Wal
toms five-storied frame house, plastered
over; the Old Cock Tavern; DEVILS
Tavern, which Johnson recommended
as the finest in all England; the dairy
of Nell Gwynn at the foot of Mapping
Stairs; Oliver Cromwell's five-story
house, and Dick Whittington's famous
house. There will be an old church
with stocks, and malefactors exposed
there under the guard of a constable.
There will be no trouble in getting the
houses in the building, as a five-story
London house was only some forty-five
feet high at the most. A panorama Of
| the Second London Bridge will be at
the Lafayette place end of the build
ing, so that the street will seem to run
down to the banks of the Thames.
Within the buildings will be shops,
stores of all kinds and restaurants. A
choir of boys will sing in the church,
and another choir will sing old English
madrigals from the tavern balcony.
The idea is taken from similar eXhi-
bition at the London Healtheries,"
where thirteen and a half millions of
Englshmen paid two shillings each to
see it in the course of three years; and
George II. Birch, the architect of the
London exhibition, will superintend
the construction of that in New York.

French Canada.

French Canada is an interesting
country in many ways. There is as
sharp a contrast between its people and
the Yankee nation across its frontier as
between their original stocks in France
and England, separated as they are by
so narrow strip of sea. Your true
Yankee is desperately in earnest, hasn't
time to be ceremonious and makes great
account of enterprise of booms
in real estate, big factories, statistics of
trade and manufacture. He is apt to
be a radical and consider this age as de-
cided an Improvement on all that have
gone before as he is on his grandfath-
ers and those who lived in the olden
time before them. His French-Cana-
dian brother is generally very poor,
but in his poverty has essentially the
manners of gentleman. His race has
been polite so long that the desire to
please has sunk from surface to center
and made him at last courteous and
good-natured to the core. In his no.
tons in building, farming, marrying
young and having a dozen to score in
his family, he holds to the practice OF
his ancestors as a precious heritage OF
habit from which it would be folly and
presumption to depart. His whole turn
of mind is as different from that of the
eager, pushing, anxious American as
day from night. One measures his
success in dollars, the other in the
number of his children. One patron
| ICES, tolerates or looks askance at his
minister, the other regards the priest
as Il superior being to whom the mys-
teries of faith are committed, not only
for the spiritual but the temporal regu-
lation of conduct. One looks upon
life as a duty to be done, the other as
thing to be enjoyed. Each could learn
something from the other and be the
better for it. Johnny Cannuck would
know less hardship if he knew that
there had recently come into the world
such a thing as Science. Brother Jona-
than would be healthier and longer
lived if he would surrender himself
once in awhile to pure frolic, sport
and gayety. Beyond the Canadian
border he can find people who, if
they do not furnish him an example,
certainly exhibit corrective for his
worry, overwork and restless ambitions,
who would be the happiest people on
earth if Progress could be married to
Content Canada Letter.

and fitting together the following thirty

But light cares speak when mighty cares are
dumb,
s-The bottom is but shallow whence they come
9-Your fate is but the common fate of all;
lO-Unminged Joys here to no man befall.
ll-Nature to each allots his proper sphere,
l2-Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;
l3-Custom does often reason override,
li-And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool
l5-Live well how long or short permit to heaven,
l6-They who forgive most shall he most forgiven.
l7-Sin may be casped so close we cannot see its
face
is-vile intercourse where virtue has not place.
l9-Then keep each passion down. however dear
2O-Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear
2l-Her sensual snares let faithess pleasure lay
22-With craft and skill to ruin and betray.
23-Soar not too high to fall but stoop to rise,
2i-we masters grow of all that we despise.

A Retreat by Night.

An account of the retreat from be-
fore Fredericksburg is given in the
Nelr York Commercial, as follows:
" Under the shelter of the sunken road
we rested and reckoned up our losses.
After the excitement of the battle we
suffered much from hunger, and more
from thirst. The saltpeter from the
powder cracked our lips and added to
our thirst, and / saw men drink greed
lily from the muddy water that stood in
the ruts made by cannon wheels. Soon
after some of US were sent out to form
a skirmish line in the cornfield, but af
ter lying under desutory fire for an
hour or two we were recalled, and the
brigade was posted in a meadow still
further toward the left Here we were
allowed to send out a party with can
teens and we found plenty of water.
That night, as we lay under our blank
cts, the skies were Illuminated by the
most gorgeous northern lights / have
ever seen-not the mere flashes of
yellow light, but superb sheets of Grim
son and gold that waXed and waned
slowly. A more memorable occurrence
to us, however, was the arrival of some
big sacks of bareback and bacon. 1t
is my impression that | devoured two
days rations before | slept; and | also
remember that the next morning
found that the bareback was especially
"wormy 81 counted, in fact, several
species of bugs and worms in one
cracker. All the next day we lay in
the open field under a lazy fire from
distant batteries, which didn't do much
damage, but was by no means pleasant.
We anticipated another desperate at
tack from the enemy, but in fact Gen
eral Burnside was occupied in planning
our retreat across the river. AS soon,
indeed, as the short December day
ended our troops were hurried over the
bridges. AS our brigade was near the
extreme left we knew nothing of the
retreat until the last moment, and oul
men had rolled up in their blankets.
Wakeful myself, / was sitting up, and
looking toward the wooded heights, !
could see, by the light of the enemy's
fires, long columns of troops moving
rapidly from their left toward their cen,
ter, and | think in the morning we
should have received a crushing attack
on our center, which might have ended
in terrible, if not irremediable, disas.
ter to our army. AS | sat there in very
unquiet mood, an officer came up anC
noiselessly aroused our men. We were
ordered to fall in without sound, anC
were hurriedly marched back to the
river and across the bridge. The en-
tire army was crossed in this manner
without loss, and / think every MAJ
reioiced, as / know | did, when hi
feet sunk in the mire on the northern
side of the bridge.
